2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Overall the car is a good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am having problems with the paint. There are rust spots on the roof, hood, and trunk. It appears as though the clear coat is breaking down.
General comments?
The driver's side seat can be uncomfortable on long drives.
The visibility is great.
The car seems to run roughly with the air conditioner on. The air doesn't work very well in extreme heat.
I am waiting to see if Hyundai will take care of my paint under the warranty.
